WHO ARE WE?


About the Bride:
Wynter LaShoun Olson entered this world on a snowy day in Chicago, and while her parents thought about naming her Summer, it just didn't seem appropriate. Wynter took her first plane ride to Oklahoma when she was 3 weeks old, and she and her parents moved back to the area just a few months later. Although she moved around some as a child, the Oklahoma City area has always been considered home. After graduating from Deer Creek High School, she later went to Oklahoma Baptist University where she graduated with degrees in Family Psychology and Cross-Cultural Ministry. Wynter spent the next 5 years on a 'round the world adventure before landing back in Oklahoma once again. It was only then that she found her South American Sweetheart in her own backyard! Wynter's passions include travel, learning to speak spanish, gourmet cooking, reading, and adventures with William.

About the Groom:
William Casallas-Saenz was born in Bogota, Colombia, and bascially spent all of his life there until moving to the United States. William had a busy childhood coming from a family of 8--including his 3 brothers and 2 sisters. He graduated from Universidad Central in Bogota, with a Bachelor's degree in Periodismo Communicacion Social and a Master's degree in Negociacion y Resolucion de Conflictos. His passions in life include futbol (soccer!!!), salsa dancing, Colombian coffee, and spending time with Wynter (por supuesto!).
